Exodus to Acquire Uruguay’s Grateful to Expand Stablecoin Payments for Latin American Merchants

The purchase brings merchant-focused stablecoin rails into Exodus’ self-custodial wallet strategy in Latin America.

Overview

  • Exodus announced the agreement on Nov. 10 and scheduled a Q3 earnings webcast that morning to discuss the deal.
  • Grateful’s stack includes a merchant dashboard, wallet-to-wallet payments, QR point-of-sale, ecommerce checkout integrations, offramping, and on-chain invoicing.
  • Exodus plans to integrate Grateful’s technology into its multichain self-custodial wallets, with technical and commercial rollout still in development.
  • The company said the acquisition targets small businesses and independent workers seeking lower fees, instant settlement and stablecoin-based tools such as invoicing and recurring payments.
  • Exodus shares rose about 5% on the announcement, and the move fits a wider push to build stablecoin payment infrastructure as some analysts project up to $1 trillion in annual stablecoin payments by 2030.
